Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the NetBird MCP Server?
Connect your NetBird account to any AI agent and take full control of your private network infrastructure through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Account Management — List and update account settings, including peer login expiration and network ranges using
list_accountsandupdate_account. - User Administration — Create service users, invite regular users, and manage roles or block statuses with
list_users,create_user, andupdate_user. - Access Control — Approve or reject pending users and manage user invitations efficiently using
approve_userandreject_user. - Security & Identity — Change user passwords for embedded IdP and retrieve current user information via
get_current_userandchange_user_password. - Invitation Workflow — Generate, regenerate, and track user invite links to scale your network using
list_user_invitesandcreate_user_invite.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your NetBird API Token
- Start managing your Zero Trust network from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual dashboard navigation to manage peer access or user onboarding. Your AI acts as a network administrator.
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — quickly manage network accounts and peer settings without leaving the terminal or IDE.
- IT Administrators — automate user onboarding, invitations, and access approvals through simple commands.
- Security Teams — monitor active users and manage security settings like password changes and account blocks instantly.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns NetBird into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from NetBird and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 89 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools
NetBird in Cursor
NetBird and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect NetBird to Cursor through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

| Server catalog | Find and host yourself | 4,000+ managed |
| Infrastructure | Self-hosted | Sandboxed V8 isolates |
| Credential handling | Plaintext in config | Vault + runtime injection |
| Data loss prevention | None | Configurable DLP policies |
| Kill switch | None | Global instant shutdown |
| Financial circuit breakers | None | Per-server limits + alerts |
| Audit trail | None | Ed25519 signed logs |
| SIEM log streaming | None | Splunk, Datadog, Webhook |

Why teams choose Vinkius for NetBird in Cursor
The NetBird MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 89 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Cursor only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure

Frequently asked questions
How can I see all users currently registered in my NetBird network?
You can use the list_users tool. It will return a complete list of users, including their IDs, roles, and current status.
Is it possible to invite a new user to the network via AI?
Yes! Use the create_user_invite tool to generate an invitation link, or create_user to invite a regular user directly by providing the necessary JSON payload.
Can I manage pending user approvals through this integration?
Absolutely. Use approve_user to grant access to a pending user or reject_user to deny their request using their specific User ID.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
